Abu Dhabi family day trip

You can be there in an hour, there’s cool stuff to do and it won't cost a fortune

7:00am Get on the roadGet the kids into the car and make your way onto the Dubai/Abu Dhabi highway. Normally, we’d suggest a place to stop and have breakfast, but as you have over an hour’s drive ahead of you to the capital city, and this is a full-on day out, it’s best to get moving early, and only take short loo breaks when necessary. There are several ADNOC stations along the way, from which you can purchase all manner of snacks if required, as well as fresh coffee for bleary-eyed mums and dads.
